Here's A Boyz N The Hood Photo Collection And Some Notes You Should See About One Of The Greatest Movies Ever

Here is a huge collection of photos from the movie Boyz N The Hood. It is harder than you may think to find photos from this movie. I doubt they had a 24/7 photographer on set during the production. Most of the images are screen captures. Regardless, the movie is excellent and you have to see it. It is a masterpiece and captured the essence and meaning of inner-city and gang lifestyles.

Here's a review from the New York Times, which does a good job of explaining it:

"The actors could easily disappear into speeches or stereotypes, but they don't; the film's strength is that it sustains an intimate and realistic tone. It is very easy to believe that these characters are real people. Ice Cube, who sometimes mutters too gruffly to be heard, nonetheless has a humorous delivery and a street swagger that effectively brings the neighborhood to life. And, Mr. Fishburne, who is called upon to deliver several lectures, manages to do so with enormous dignity and grace, and makes a compelling role model, someone on whom the whole film easily pivots." - New York Times, Movie Review, 1991
